hello and welcome to you are to you with me karen tara well turkey's parliament house all the rise the military to engage in cross border armed operations following the shelling of a town from syrian territory on wednesday meanwhile tension on the border is worsening with turkey renewing its retaliatory shelling of its war torn neighbor for a second day archies middle east correspondent paul slayer brings us more. as expected the turkish parliament has voted overwhelmingly in favor of all three wising military operations in syria what this does mean is that it now has given the green light for cross border operations the turkish prime minister has gone on record as saying this is not a declaration of war but it certainly is sending out very warning messages now while this meeting of the parliament was being held in the capital city of vancouver outside and protesters were chanting slogans such as a no to wall the syrian all our brothers used tear gas to disperse this crowd of
11:02 am
antiwar demonstrators but certainly it's another sign of just how fluid and how intense the situation is at the moment turkey continue to fire artillery at syrian targets into the early hours of tuesday morning the exact extent of the turkish operation is still unclear but according to several sources civil syrian soldiers who were killed in these military strikes the turks also called for an emergency meeting of of nature and that was held on wednesday night in brussels urging for the united nations to take action and mississippi steps to stop what they are calling syrian aggression so certainly the turks again very quick to go on the offensive to the syrian side they are urging restraint they have formally given condolences to the families and friends of those who were killed and at the same time that they have said they are launching an investigation it's still not clear
11:03 am
who exactly fired this move into territory it did land in a residential building killing five members of one family and injuring another thirteen people while turkey approves cross border military operations moscow is calling for calm both sides and. john thomas has more on the russian foreign ministry's reaction. the international community hasn't been quick to condemn the actions of syria but sergey lavrov calling on a more reasonable diplomatic and restraint a reserve approach if you will he says that both sides are it's important for them to engage in dialogue specifically in the flight of the recent events where turkey has approved military involvement to go across the border now he also says that if that syria isn't to blame for this incident on wednesday then they should make a public statement saying that as much now damascus has in turn stopped short of
11:04 am
claiming responsibility but has said that this was a tragic mistake and is assured that they will work hard to try and prevent mistakes of like this from happening in the future now this also comes out during a week of a much more violence in syria specifically in aleppo a town at near the border which saw four blasts and thirty people dead in relation to this usually the west is quick to condemn. terrorist actions like this but when it comes to syria they seem to turn a blind eye this is what sergei lavrov had to say about that. we cannot ignore other aspects of the syrian tragedy yesterday a series of terrorist attacks killed dozens of people but for several months our partners at the u.n. refused to condemn terror attacks on syrian territory the u.n. security council always stresses that there is no excuse for terrorism and the fact of their western colleagues refrain from that position now regarding what terrorists do in syria is
11:05 am
a very worrying signal. now is specially in light of recent events with of the turkish parliament agreeing that they're allowed to use military across the border into syria two important focal points number one the international community has to acknowledge that there is terrorist activity in syria and number two syria and turkey need to open their lines of communication and discuss things so things don't get out of hand geo political analyst patrick henning. syria is being forced to protect its interests as turkey provides a safe haven for terrorists active in the conflict torn country syria has no interest in starting a war with turkey as any common sense person or commentator would look at it but the government's been serious well within its right to criticize turkey and to defend itself after all when your neighbor is providing bases for terrorists groups large groups and turkey has been doing this is far back as last year they've been providing safe haven for terrorists from the free syrian army and al-qaeda so in
11:06 am
that situation you have to think. any countries within its right to object to that and it could lead to an altercation but the way it's being framed in the media and in the west is that syria has aggressed its neighbor this is a typical kind of bay false flag baiting sort of exercise that the western governments and their intelligence agencies are very skilled at and they're also skilled at spinning that in the media to then further their own agenda and the agenda in this case is a collapse of the syrian state and regime change and some of the few dominoes that are of the fallout of that happens and our campaign or can stone told us that if turkey decides to increase its military actions it could endanger peace back home. prime minister erda one may think he's very clever and lobbying artillery shells over the border into syria but what he may actually be doing is shooting himself in
11:07 am
the foot taking military action opens the pandora's box of kurdish demands for a separate state. the kurds say to themselves or a certain kurdish parties say to themselves if the turkish government. asked in syria to change the boundaries of the borders in the middle east we can demand the changing of the borders and syria has a clue including a kurdish state. so this is the kind of blowback that mr airline gets when he involve themselves in illegal military action across international borders. but update you on how the situation in syria and turkey develops and bring you more opinion and analysis in the coming hours. greek riot police have fired tear gas to disperse dozens of protesters trying to storm the country's defense ministry five people were injured in the clashes and seventy people were arrested the latest show

a fury was staged by a shipyard workers who say they haven't been paid for how near it comes as greece negotiates a fresh cut package with international lenders in exchange for another cash injection investment analyst patrick young says the country's government has no control of the situation. you know the troika these people who come along and demand copts they've been coming for the last several years every time they go away they think they've got a deal in the greek side people to stick to it so this time around everybody's finally got to the point where they realize well they might make a deal that might not be you can do it but actually we've got all these facts coming along ridiculous pieces of information grand prix circuits being built at the greek hinterlands with money the truth is the greek government is just out of control it is the ultimate vodka object in a pool of vodka financial trouble across the atlantic as well as dishing out discipline for those responsible coming up next hour in the kaiser report. here

could turn to general eric schneiderman has filed a civil suit against j.p. morgan the complaint contends that bear stearns and its lending unit e.m.c. mortgage defrauded investors who purchased mortgage securities packaged by the companies from two thousand and five to two thousand and seven so max investors lost twenty six percent of their investment in just the two thousand and six in two thousand and seven bond that is twenty two point five billion of eighty seven point five billion of bonds that bear stearns had packaged and sold up to pension funds and all others made you do it gently why did you lose those people twenty six percent of their money knowingly brutally. why did you do it you know good. it's now only a month left before the u.s. elects its new president barack obama and mitt romney have just made it through
11:10 am
their first presidential debate duel but the latest c.n.n. poll shows the incumbent has taken a beating artie's going to fall the debate. mr romney did seem more alert he actually did better than many thought he would considering all his gaffes and misfires in this election campaign he of course took advantage of the fact that the recovery under president obama has been slow the country is running to huge deficit gigantic debt more than sixteen trillion dollars that's one hundred four percent of the nation's g.d.p. the president's main argument was that mr romney wants to go back to the same policies that landed the u.s. and the world for that matter in the economic mess four years ago that everybody's still struggling to recover from so there was a lot of back and forth about who's going to be paying for what and how they both gave different numbers citing different studies at some point you guys kind of confusing but in general it looked as if one of them was saying he wants to raise taxes and the other one goes no he wants to raise taxes or we need regulation and the other one would say you agree so in the context of this debate they agreed on
11:11 am
a lot of things but the devil is of course in the details by ted as they try to get into details and numbers it got even more confusing reduced we still have two more debates in the coming weeks we'll hear more about the candidates foreign policy vision for now in most states president obama is leading in the polls although by a very small margin they're going pretty much the way but it's important to mention that in the us and canada question is when the majority of the popular vote and still lose the election because this is not the popular vote is the so-called electoral college that decides the outcome of the presidential elections you're talking every state gives the candidate a certain number of points and the winner has to collect magic number two hundred seventy points even if a candidate loses a stage by just say three votes they get zero points that way it's a very peculiar electoral system which is not really about the will of the majority so not only are the americans stuck with just two choices because it's
11:12 am
a two horse race system but they're also not guaranteed to get the president that the majority of american voters cast their votes for which is one more thing almost . half of americans identify themselves as independents that's according to a gallup poll forty percent the fact of the matter is there are other candidates in this presidential election but they've been pushed out of these major debate so very few know anything about them they're not even on ballots in all states because different states have different requirements essentially designed to keep it a tool horse race there as well the leader hugo chavez is going to face his young challenger during the presidential vote this sunday as venezuelan leader faces his challenger we explore the international media hardship job that's doing the rounds . you hope for russia's military aviation dumbbells that you would use in the four seven six transport plane moron that's another story so after a short break. this
